Foul words is but foul wind, and foul wind is but foul breath, and foul breath is noisome; therefore I will depart unkissed.
I will live in thy heart, die in thy lap, and be buried in thy eyes—and moreover, I will go with thee to thy uncle’s.
Mercutio: "If love be rough with you, be rough with love;
Sigh no more ladies, sigh no more, men were deceivers ever
For to be wise and love exceeds man's might.
Affliction is enamoured of thy parts, And thou art wedded to calamity.
JAQUES: Rosalind is your love's name? ORLANDO: Yes, just. JAQUES: I do not like her name. ORLANDO: There was no thought of pleasing you when she was christened.
What light through yonder window breaks?
Women may fail when there is no strength in man
My stars shine darkly over me
Take pains. Be perfect.
Now my charms are all o'erthrown, And what strength I have's mine own, - Which is most faint: now, 'tis true, I must be here confined by you... But release me from my bands With the help of your good hands: Gentle breath of yours my sails Must fill, or else my project fails, Which was to please: now I want Spirits to enforce, art to enchant; And my ending is despair, Unless I be relieved by prayer, Which pierces so, that it assaults Mercy itself, and frees all faults. As you from crimes would pardon'd be, Let your indulgence set me free.
I love you with so much of my heart that none is left to protest.
I understand a fury in your words But not your words.
